Stages of cooking
-
Cook the linguine according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
-
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream slightly thickens.
-
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue whisking until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
-
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Be careful with the salt as Parmesan cheese is naturally salty.
-
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss it in the sauce until well-coated.
-
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
-
Serve the creamy garlic Parmesan pasta immediately and enjoy!
